Strictly Come Dancing 2016: Hollyoaks' Danny Mac reveals plans to STRIP off on the show

STRICTLY Come Dancing star Danny Mac has revealed his plans to strip during his time on the show.

The former Hollyoaks actor, who has been busy rehearsing with professional dancer Oti Mabuse, made the comment as he spoke about his impending premiere on the BBC talent show later this month.

Joking about how he hopes to avert the attention from his dance moves if they aren't up to scratch, the Daily Star reported him saying: "If going topless takes people’s attention away from my footwork then I’m more than happy to take off my shirt.

"If a routine goes really badly I might just rip off the shirt and hope for the best."

The actor, who played the role of Mark 'Dodger' Savage added: "In fact, if it gets me votes I’d dance in my pants."

However, it appears there is a reason why Danny is prepared to go to such lengths to win the glitterball trophy.

But despite Lesley's warning, Ed was still unsure about whether he wanted to continue.

Then he was saying, ‘Is it too late to back out now?’ So I told him, ‘This is your last chance to get out, Ed. If you want to go, you’ve got to do it now’," the iconic Birds Of A Feather actress added.

However, before Ed could leave, it was too late.

"But then the rocket went up and there we were, the class of 2016," Lesley declared.

Despite his fears, Ed admitted that he's going to try his best.

"I think people want it to be fun, and the best routines always have a bit of humour in them," he added at the recent TV Choice Awards.

“But I’m in it because I want to learn to dance and I want to try really hard and do my best. I think people want to see someone learn and progress. You don’t have to be the best dancer at the beginning. But you’ve got to get better.”
